Global Buckets : Introduction (like EarthBox®)

[ashokrayvenn]

Really enjoyed this video...Thanks!

[docwilkey]

you guys did a great job with putting out this video, thank you for the info.

[NavyBlueSTL]

Very good video. I'm impressed with your compassion for less fortunate countries. I really like your two bucket design. May I make one suggestion? I would substitute burlap fabric for the black plastic covers. Burlap will still suppress weeds, yet allow the soil to breath (which is important for healthy soil life). The light colored material will also keep soil cooler than the black plastic. Free burlap sacks can to obtained at feed mills or coffee shops.

Great job, boys!! Thank you so much for sharing this!

Were trying these earth boxes. We found out putting a bucket from Lowes in a bucket from Walmart gives us 5 inches of water in the bottom. We like your cup method of slits we are trying this. We purchased Patio plus from Lowes it has compost seaweed, chicken and bat poop. I added worm castings and some worms to the bucket as a test. I will see what happens. I did not put any commercial fertilizer in the bucket.

I only hope my young girls can grow up and be as thoughful and intelligent as you guys are.

Today in my email inbox I got yet another letter describing why we should do nothing and just let things be. It's guys like you and the guy who started the ShelterBox campaign that give me hope that everyone is not a selfish baboon looking out only for her/himself.

Thanks guys - keep it up. We can change the world.

Well done boys! Thank you for sharing this!! Blessings

[RiverBeyond]

Awesome job! I will do this on my roof and spread the word!

[indigocrush]

Fantastic! Bravo for you two!

[stymye]

how does the water get into the red cup ... don't you have to put a hole in it ?

[indigocrush]

@stymye He mentions that they cut slits in the red cup.

[SheepDog707]

@stymye They put a slit into it, and even showed us. you must have missed it.

[MrMsbllwnkl]

champion idea dudes. well done.

[jonboda]

love



[301steady]

Thanks for the tips. I just ordered 120 buckets.

I have to get ready for a potential Global Economic Collapse.

Robert Kiyosaki says to have the 5 G's ready for it.

What I'll need next is a solar desalinization system.

[eredy]

good idea but use a all natural fertilizer . ones like miracle grow over time kill the dirt . look up compost tea and India

[creamrising]

Brilliant!

[closethipster]

Awesome. Nice work.

[spokanetrish]

Brilliant!

[apensiil]

this is amazing, what you are doing! have a great success!

[hunyuanqi]

It is amazing what you have done and are promoting. Many thanks.

[aslhandz1]

Also, if you have your buckets separate, how much do you wanter them? Then I would assume you place the pipe in before the soil and cut a hole for that also?

[aslhandz1]

I notice youonly have 1 plant per bucket. In soem cases {Ie lettuce} can 2 or 3 plants be planted?

[slvmnr]

At the end of the growing season, do you throw out the potting mix? Or do you

reuse next year by adding more fertilzer?

[sammyfan77]

What is the Dolomite for and how is it added to the potting soil? What type of fertilizer is put on the top of the soil?  Thanks for your help!

[gilgamesh1962]

@sammyfan77 Dolomite is added for the Calcium, and to help regulate PH a bit, mostly used for tomatoes, to prevent blossom end rot.

I have just planted an earth bucket with a tomoto plant, I didnt use Dolomite, and I do not know if I will have a problem with BER. I am in the tropics, and I cant find Dolomite for sale anywhere, so I made my own mix, using coconut coir, regular garden soil, and worm castings. fingers are crossed lol

[sapphire91288]

@gilgamesh1962 -You can add calcium by adding cleaned egg shells to the water, or crush them and add them to the soil. Or, if animals aren't a problem, crush clean bones and add them to the soil.

[rubyspirit2]

Great videos! God bless you!

[dandoran59]

[homebizvi]

Way to go guys! Most excellent! I live in the US Virgin Islands. It's fairly arid and your system is off the wall. Way Cool! I will share the food I grow! Very inspiring! Keep it going!

[dumb7890]

good work guys ,but hair cuts , need to be on your to do list

[claudesclassics]

teachers + students always learn from the wise , confucious we can believe his teachings are still here as for your bucket system (at this moment one is made here in Australia thanks again to you Two gentlemen, tomatoes doing well 3 are growing so far wow!) this is also a great water conserver . hope this reaches more listeners and doer,s.. keep doing guys thanks once again for reminding me about this product /..bucket system....all the many best wishes for today and the future..ciao...claudio.

[claudesclassics]

top idea,keep this project going, a wise man once said "give a man a fish and you feed him for one day, teach him to fish and you feed him for life" could have been Jesus saying but not sure, anyway you two young guys are inspiring and very kind to teach the people out there , thank you....

[devastaticon]

Confucius said that.... jesus...

[OneOfTenVirgins]

Great job guys! May the Lord Jesus bless you guys in your good works!! Thanks!

[dell1972]

Its the materials cheap to buy!

[n8tivguitar]

good job boys good to see someone cares.

[FightUni09]

Again, great job! I also made lots of other kinds of planters or boxes. One minor problems with the buckets: one of my tomatos got SO big, it actually got top heavy and fell over. No biggie, I just bungie corded the waterer to a tree.

Also, IF you make the waterer very tall, you can "stake" your tomato to it. I just slid a bamboo into my waterer pipe. can you say Gazpachio!?

[GlobalBuckets]

The automatic watering system is working great. After we set it up, we've only spent about 5 minutes on watering during the past month. We're making a video to explain it, but we're leaving for a family vacation so it may not be finished for several weeks.

Sincerely,

Grant

[shopsoftware]
